- I'm glad you like the WinNET Mail software. We really tried
- to make the package a complete system - far more than one
- normally gets as Shareware. We put WinNET Mail out as
- Shareware so that people can pick it up, install it, read
- the documentation, and actually see it and try it before
- they decide if they would want to use it or not.
-
- Of course, a communications program isn't much good if you
- don't do some communicating, but I think your experience
- looking into WinNET Mail is about the same as my recent
- experience of picking up the demo diskette of Microsoft Mail
- from Microsoft. I could do everything but send someone mail
- with it. That is why we made WinNET Mail's installation and
- setup separate from the service account setup. You do not
- have to sign up for an account to check out the software.
-
- But if you do decide you like the software and want the
- Internet connection, bingo, you've got it. Just run account
- setup, WinNET Mail calls the server and you have an Intenet
- account - instantly!

- Boy, I really like you comments, and am sorry that the
- current version of WinNET Mail doesn't work the way you
- would like it. But don't despair, we plan to release a
- shareware or product version of WinNET Mail that will work
- with any UUCP host within a few months!
-
- If you like what you have seen so far, then you should
- really like the Usenet News version that is due out in
- January.

-
- Really, you should consider WinNET Mail. You already like
- the interface, it is trivial to sign up, and our typical
- per month bill is only $10-12 (with all communications
- costs, your cost would range from $15-29).
